I'm only out 1 year, and seeing 2 raging parties in my apt complex is bringing back some great memories. I still go out on the weekends, but nothing beats those huge keg parties with new groups of people.

Is it all downhill from here?

Yes, getting frick upped in a beat up apartment is the highlight of human existence.

This sounds cliche, man, but it is what you make it.

You can do whatever it is that you want to do. I have as much, if not more, fun now than I did in school.

I enjoy the money I make with the college degree I have. I remember not having much money during those college years. So no, I do not miss college.

Well, I'm out 4 years. You get over it eventually.























My life is boring.

I had fun in college, but I don't think I've ever been happier (30 now). I enjoy having the money to travel and buy the things I want. I'm still close with most of my buddies and I see them pretty often.

The best part of it all is my wife. I'm sure I'll get called a "pussy," but she's the best thing that ever happened to me.

That's what I'm starting to feel like. A lot of my friends moved away or they're getting married. I'm still single and want to have as much fun as I can, but I'm running out of ppl to do it with

I graduated in May. So not too bad yet.

You really just have to find shite to do. For instance, getting wrecked loses priority, and your weekends become more valuable. What you make of them is on you.

I also cherish my vacation days and try to go balls out on them. Ie (nothing against this) I don't take vacations to Destin for a week. I save that shite up and go to Spain.

This numbs the pain.

Everyone wants to be able to say that or it's equivalent. Just not necessarily at the current stage of their life. Anyone who calls you a "pussy" is, in fact, a bit jealous and does understand that you've got what they'll eventually want.




OP: college is over. Meeting people is hard now. Big keg parties still exist, and you can go to them forever. You'll probably eventually learn to realize that you look forward to a potluck with your small group of good friends more than a giant kegger. Or maybe you won't. People are different and will always like different things.

You still living in BR? If so That's part of your problem. You need a clean break from college. Move to a big city full of other young professionals and you'll forget about college real quick.

Been out for 14 years. Don't miss it at all.


College was different for me though. I didn't have my parents paying for anything so I worked my arse off during college and was always really broke.


I don't miss being broke.

This is pretty much our social life now. A small, tight-knit group gets together for games, dinner, etc... Sometimes we go on short vacations together.

See, I'd take a small get together any day over the kegger. I guess it's more meeting new people every week that I miss. Just getting in the same weekly routine is starting to seem depressing

Ya, going to shite show bars together stops making sense. You aren't going to talk to other dudes there, and nobody is chasing women so there goes the rest of the purpose. Why the frick am I paying $5 a bottle again?

I enjoy the more "bar-sy" joints now when I do go out for that reason

That actually doesn't sound like a bad idea. My buddy moved to Houston and said he'd never live in BR again. Idk if I could do Houston though

You realize there are other cities besides Houston?
